Violent Montreal student protest nets 10 arrests

Riot police used tear gas and concussion grenades on hundreds of students protesting outside Montreal’s Palais des congrÃ¨s Friday, where Premier Jean Charest was speaking at a symposium on northern development.

The mayhem reached deep inside the convention centre, where Charest’s keynote speech was delayed after a group of protesters gained access to the building and confronted police guarding the meetings.

Two police officers and two protesters were injured in the standoff, and 10 people were arrested.
